Boarding

Local Farm offers boarding for cows

whose families want to go on vacation. Full Boarding Fees are $25/day or $400/month per head. Cattle must be halter trained, gentle, and arrive with a current veterinarian’s certificate of health (including TB and brucelosis test within 30 days) and current rabies shot. Any special feed or veterinary care incurred during their stay is additional. Lower rates are available for long term boarders whose families visit regularly and help with their care.

Hazel, the cow in this photo had an arranged “date” with our bull, Litmus, while she was boarding at Local Farm and see the result!

"Where else in the world could I watch young kittens at play, cuddle a baby bunny, muck out a calf pen, see a newborn calf, watch swallows feeding their young, feed some chickens, watch a cow being bred, and walk an obstreperous young bull?" asked Naomi after a morning visit to Local Farm.
